While camping last week, Nick Guertin had to get up at the crack of dawn to use the loo. A small orange cat appeared out of nowhere the moment he unzipped his tent. It hopped right into his tent and patiently waited for Guertin to come back.

The animal wasted no time getting cosy with Guertin upon his return to the tent. The feline began to play rough with him, headbutting him and purring loudly. It felt natural, like they had known each other forever.
“I thought, ‘Oh, this is adorable,’” Guertin remarked tin an interview

Guertin wasn’t sure if the cat would cuddle up to him again after their first encounter. However, he did return. The cat began to spend an increasing amount of time with Guertin during the subsequent days. At the campfire, in the kitchen, and, of course, in his tent, he hung out with Guertin.

Being more accustomed to dogs, Guertin knew very little about cats. However, he began to warm up to the adorable kitten because of how gregarious and charming it was.
Everyone in Guertin’s TikTok comments section couldn’t believe this cat had fallen head over heels for him so quickly. It looked straight out of a Disney film. Many commenters felt strongly that the cat and Guertin were destined to be together.

“I guess he adopted you,” remarked one commenter.

“You have been chosen,” someone else responded.

However, Guertin was concerned that the cat might already be in a home. It was difficult to determine because he lacked a collar, but otherwise he appeared healthy and accustomed to human company.

In an effort to get any leads, Guertin spoke to a neighbour. The individual in question verified that the feline in question was, in fact, a juvenile stray that had been meandering around the neighbourhood since infancy. It didn’t take long for Guertin to make up his mind; he simply had to take in the homeless cat. He decided on the name Camper after getting him some snacks.

The arrival of a new feline friend during Guertin’s camping excursion was completely unexpected. On this journey, he has gone from being a dog lover to a doting father of cats. But that’s just the way he wants it.
“He’s very cool,” Guertin remarked in a TikTok video.
